Vehicle Description
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 Convertible Why This Car Is Special
We have a super rare and correct restored 1970 Chevrolet SS 454 LS5
Convertible here at Skyway Classics with a real #512 block 454
cubic inch monster big block engine, 4-speed manual transmission,
12-bolt read end, white convertible top and interior, red paint,
and air conditioning! It is not often that you will find a 1970
Chevrolet Chevelle SS LS5 454 convertible with those options and a
white bucket seat interior that has a lot of originality too and
looks as it did when it was new. Chevelle's are immensely popular
cars and none are so much highly sought after as the 1970 model
packing that big block 454 LS5 engine. Recent documentation now
confirms that fewer LS5 cars were produced than LS6 cars in 1970
and the LS5 Chevelle is actually rarer than the LS6 Chevelle. Of
those LS5 cars, only 91 of them were fitted in convertibles with
only 50 or so being 4-speeds, let alone with factory air
conditioning or this one being red with white interior and top!

disc brakes, air conditioning, and factory cast iron exhaust
headers flowing back to the dual exhaust. The engine bay is highly
detailed as is the chassis with the dual exhaust running out under
the rear bumper thru chrome tips on each side, sway bars front &
rear, and the 4-speed manual transmission that runs to a 12-bolt
rear end. Add in and the good grip of wide Firestone Wide Oval
raised white letter tires mounted on the factory 5-spoke SS wheels

Interior The white bucket seat with headrest and matching rear seat
interior looks as good as it did when new. Everything looks correct
and just like it came from the factory back in 1970. It even has
the factory dash housing the optional U14 round gauge package that
includes the tachometer, accessory gauge package, chrome 4-speed
manual shifter in the center console, SS steering wheel, black
carpet, white door panels, and rear seat. The result is a Chevelle
SS that feels like a time piece as it is in excellent condition top
to bottom. Exterior Our Chevelle is finished in stunning Red paint
flowing over the cowl induction hood with the white SS stripes,
super straight factory panels, blacked-out grilles, rear panel,
bulging fenders, and the power white convertible top. The chrome
bumpers, wheel arch trim, Chevelle and SS 454 badging really look
great and draw people to the car at shows or even gas stations, and
even the chassis looks super clean too. Conclusion The 1970

conditioning, 12-bolt rear end, and white bucket seat interior here
